pulseaudio split front and rear audio

Hello fellow archers!I'm trying to have to separate sinks so that I am able to route some applications to my speakers, using the audio jacks from the back of my case, while other apps should play in my headphones using the jack from the front panel. Right now what I hear in the speakers(back) I also hear in my headphones (front)I have pulse audio installed and I tried this Splitting front/rear from the wiki.So in my /etc/pulse/default.pa I added:

Now when I route vlc to play on the remapped sink, speakers, it's the same as before: I hear the same thing in my speakers and my headphones.When I route vlc to play on the second remapped sink, headphones, I hear nothing at all, neither in my speakers or my headphones.

Re: pulseaudio split front and rear audio

Just to confirm, you are sure the front and rear jacks are capable of working simultaneously, right? Because not all audio controllers allow this.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.-Lysander Spooner

What am I doing wrong ?

I am having the exact same issue with my speaker/headset configuration.Either sound on both devices (headset and speakers),or no sound (even though pavucontrol shows some activity).
